January is National Zero-Waste Month

On May 15, 2014, President Benigno S. Aquino III signed Proclamation No. 760 declaring every month of January as "Zero-Waste Month". The proclamation is an improtant reminder of the need to be mindful of waste we produce.

As people of Northern Samar leave 2018 behind, we enjoin the public to consider taking steps in making zero-waste society a reality, not only during the first month of the year but the whole year. This we can do by simply following the three "Rs" of effective waste management - i.e., "Reduce", "Reuse" and "Recycle".
